1Te phoeiah tah Absalom loh amah ham leng neh marhang neh a hmaiah aka yong la hlang sawmnga te a hmoel.
1After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him.
2Te phoeiah Absalom te hlah uh tih vongka kah longpuei kaep ah pai. Te vaengah tuituknah a khueh tih manghai mikhmuh kah laitloeknah paan ham aka om hlang carhui te Absalom loh a khue. Te phoeiah, “Nang me kho lamkah lae?” a ti nah hatah, “Na sal he Israel koca pakhat ni,” a ti nah.
2Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
3Te vaengah anih te Absalom loh, “So lah, na ol tah then tih langya dae nang ol te manghai loh a hnatun moenih,” a ti nah.
3Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
4Te phoeiah khaw Absalom loh, “Khohmuen ah lai aka tloek la kamah he dawk ng'khueh koinih tuituknah aka khueh hlang boeih loh kai taengla ha pawk vetih laitloeknah dongah anih te ka tang sak suidae,” a ti nah.
4Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”
5Te dongah a om nah kung ah anih bawk hamla aka mop hlang boeih te a kut a doe tih a kop phoeiah a mok.
5It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.
6Hekah olka bangla Absalom loh manghai kah laitloeknah aka paan Israel rhoek boeih taengah a saii. Te dongah Absalom loh Israel hlang rhoek kah lungbuei te a huen pah.
6Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7Kum sawmli a poeng nen tah Absalom loh manghai taengah, “Ka cet mai saeh lamtah Hebron ah BOEIPA taengah ka saii ka olcaeng te ka thuung mai pawn eh.
7At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.
8Aram Geshuri kah kho ka sak vaengah ni na sal loh olcaeng he a caeng coeng. Te vaengah, 'BOEIPA loh kai he Jerusalem ah m'bal la m'bal puei atah BOEIPA taengah tho ka thueng eh?,’ ka ti ta,” a ti nah.
8For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’”
9Te daengah anih te manghai loh, “Sading la cet ne,” a ti nah. Te dongah thoo tih Hebron la cet.
9The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
10Tedae Absalom loh Israel koca boeih taengah longyam a tueih tih, “Tuki ol na yaak uh vaengah, 'Absalom tah Hebron ah manghai la om coeng,'ti uh ne,” a ti nah.
10But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”
11Te vaengah Jerusalem lamkah a khue hlang yahnih loh Absalom te a caeh puei. Amih te ngaimong ngaitoe la cet uh dae olka pakhat khaw a ming uh moenih.
11Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
12David kah olrhoep Giloh Ahithophel te hmueih a nawn na kungah amah kho Giloh lamkah te Absalom loh a tah. Anih neh lairhui te om rhapsat dae pilnam khaw Absalom taengla muep cet.
12Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13Te vaengah David taengla aka puen te ha pawk tih, “Israel hlang kah a lungbuei tah Absalom taengla om coeng,” a ti nah.
13A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
14Te dongah David loh Jerusalem kah amah taengah aka om a sal rhoek boeih te, “Thoo uh lamtah, yong uh pawn sih, Absalom mikhmuh lamloh mamih ham loeihnah om mahpawh, pahoi caeh ham om. Mamih he buengrhuet ng'kae vetih mamih soah yoethae hang heh phoeiah tah khopuei te cunghang ha neh ngawn ve,” a ti nah.
14David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
15Manghai kah sal rhoek loh manghai te, “Ka boei manghai kah a coelh bangla na sal rhoek boeih ka om uh he,” a ti uh.
15The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
16Te phoeiah tah manghai neh a kho kung kah a imkhui pum tah pahoi hlah uh. Tedae a yula huta parha te tah im tawt la manghai loh a caehtak.
16The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
17Manghai neh a kho kungkah pilnam boeih te hlah uh tih khohla bangsang kah im la pai uh.
17The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
18Te vaengah a kut hmuiah aka pongpa a sal boeih neh Kerethi boeih, Phelethi boeih neh Gath lamloh anih kho kungah aka pongpa Ghitti boeih tah hlang ya rhuk la manghai mikhmuh ah cet uh.
18All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
19Tedae manghai loh Ghitti Ittai te, “Balae tih, kaimih taengah nang na pongpa he?, Mael lamtah manghai taengah ana om ngawn. Nang tah kholong neh na hmuen lamloh m'poelyoe uh nang khaw.
19Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place.
20Hlaem ah na pawk tih tihnin ah nang he kam poeng khaw kam poeng puei mai aya? Kaimih neh n'caeh vaengah me la ka pawk akaw ka cet to coeng. Sitlohnah neh oltak la mael lamtah na taengkah na manuca rhoek mael puei laeh,” a ti nah.
20Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
21Tedae Ittai loh manghai te a doo tih, “BOEIPA kah hingnah neh ka boeipa manghai kah hingnah dongah, ka boeipa manghai te mekah hmuen ah om mai tih, dueknah neh hingnah dongah khaw na sal he ha om bitni,” a ti nah.
21Ittai answered the king and said, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”
22Tedae David loh Ittai te, “Cet lamtah kat laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Ghitti Ittai neh a hlang rhoek boeih, a taengkah camoe boeih te a kat puei.
22David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
23Pilnam te boeih a khum vaengah kho tomah a ol neh bungbung rhap uh. Manghai loh Kidron soklong te a poeng daengah pilnam boeih loh khosoek longpuei kah rhaldan la thoeih uh pueng.
23All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.
24Te vaengah Pathen kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt Zadok neh a taengkah Levi boeih long khaw Pathen kah thingkawng te dalh a hal uh. Te dongah khopuei lamkah aka nong ham pilnam te boeih a cing duela Abiathar loh a dom pah.
24Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing out of the city.
25Te vaengah manghai loh Zadok te, “Pathen kah thingkawng he khopuei la mael puei laeh, BOEIPA kah mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang tih kai m'mael puei atah amah neh a tolkhoeng te kai n'tueng bitni.
25The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favor in the LORD’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it and his habitation;
26Tedae, 'Nang te kang ngaih moenih,’ a ti oeh atah a mikhmuh ah a then a ti bangla kai taengah han saii nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
26but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
27Te phoeiah manghai loh khosoih Zadok te, “Na taengkah na ca rhoi, na capa Ahimaaz neh Abiathar capa Jonathan khaw khopuei ah sading la mael puei ham na hmuh a?” a ti nah.
27The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28“Ka hmuh, nangmih taeng lamkah ol aka thoeng te kai taengla ha puen hil khosoek kah vahcaeh, kolken ah kan rhing ni,” a ti nah.
28Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
29Te dongah Zadok neh Abiathar loh Pathen kah thingkawng te Jerusalem la a mael puei rhoi tih pahoi om rhoi.
29Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed there.
30David te olive kham ah a luei. A luei vaengah rhap tih a lu khoep a yil tih khotling la cet. A taengkah pilnam boeih long khaw a lu rhip a yil uh tih a caeh, caeh doela rhap uh.
30David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31Te vaengah David taengla a puen pa tih, “Absalom neh aka ven uh rhoek khuiah Ahithophel khaw om,” a ti nah. Te dongah David loh, “BOEIPA aw, Ahithophel kah cilsuep te pavai sak laeh,” a ti.
31Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
32Som la a pawk vaengah David loh Pathen te a bawk. Te vaengah Arkii Hushai loh a angkidung pawnsoem neh a lu dongah laipi hoeng la David tarha a doe.
32When David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.
33Te dongah anih te David loh, “Kai taengah na pongpa koinih kai ham hnorhih la na om ni.
33David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
34Tedae khopuei la na bal tih Absalom taengah, 'Kai tah manghai nang kah sal la ka om eh?, na pa kah sal lam khaw hlamat ah ka om coeng dae nang kah sal la ka om mai pawn eh?,’ na ti koinih Ahithophel kah cilsuep te kai ham na phae suidae.
34but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
35Na taengah khosoih Zadok neh Abiathar te a om moenih a? Te daengah man manghai im kah olka na yaak boeih te khosoih Zadok neh Abiathar taengah na thui ve.
35Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36A ca rhoi, Zadok capa Ahimaaz neh Abiathar capa Jonathan khaw amih taengah pahoi om ta ke. Olka na yaak boeih te amih kut lamkah loh kai taengla nam pat mako,” a ti nah.
36Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”
37Te dongah David kah olrhoep Hushai loh khopuei te a paan tih Jerusalem kah Absalom taengla kun.
37So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
